Jennifer Opens Up & Ladies' Home Journal Gives Away

Fri, Jun 15, 2012 at 11:55 AM

We always love getting an opportunity to step inside the wonderful mind of Jennifer, and in one of her recent interviews with Ladies' Home Journal they did just that! Have you ever wanted to sit down one on one and pick Jennifer's brain? This interview may help satiate your feelings for a moment... 

 

Speaking of satiation, according to her interview Jennifer's guiltiest pleasure is a little sweet–salty–smoky taste of back home in Nashville, TN called Piggy Popcorn and Piggy Pecans from the Loveless Cafe. Jennifer admits to LHJ, "Honey, if you ever want something that's Southern, that's Southern." Bet she wishes her chef on the road could make that!

 

Chef on the road you may ask? Oh yeah, she also told told Home Journal that they always have a yoga instructor and a cook with them while traveling. "Not only is it good for morale, it’s good for our health. In the past we used to eat at whatever venue we were playing. We’d consume a lot of meat on a stick," Jennifer added. 

 

And as always, she left them with a few words of wisdom in explaining the philosophy she lives by, "Be grateful---and be your best self." However, those words aren't all she left!

 

Before Jennifer exited the Ladies' Home Journal offices she signed three copies of their most recent album The Incredible Machine. LHJ is now offering you the chance to win one of these CD's simply by commenting on their blog post! So, click here and leave LHJ some love for your chance to win!

    WOW! LOTS of responses to the article! But Jennifer seems like such a great person, so it doesn't suprise me that everyone wants to win a copy of this!! ;) All I can say is that I just heard today that she and her husband are expecting their first child, and I am SO VERY excited for them!! Becoming a parent is, by far, THE greatest gift in the world! Though there are hard times and good times.. I think she will make one amazing momma through them all!! ;) Congrats to them both and it will surely be one very gorgeous, blessed child! Not sure if she actually reads these or not, but best of luck and wishes for a healthy and happy pregnancy!! I know it can be rough at times (I've been through it twice & would do it again in a hearbeat) But it really DOES go fast! so try to enjoy every moment & know that all of the "pain" will be over and, SOMEHOW, you really DO forget allll about it when you get to hold that amazing gift from god that only you and your husband can create! ;)
    Much peace & Love ~ Stephanie

    I hope you stay REAL! It is very refreshing for star magnitude to remain real. I hear you on Duets and you're real sassy. Tell it like it is! I would love to hear part two some day. Just being able to understand how you develop a song from beginning to end would be a great article. i have trouble just making my poster requests for a concert. Such talent is a virtue I would love a Cd from you. Thanks for the LOVE!

Post a comment

  1. The latest episode of the 'In Your Hands Rewind' series is here, and of course we saved the machine for last. Watch Sugarland perform a LIVE version of 'Incredible Machine' from our 2012 "In Your Hands" tour.

     

    Buy the complete album of 'Incredible Machine' here.

     

  2. Take another look into the 2012 "In Your Hands" Tour with our very own Kristian Bush. In this video Kristian performs a special rendition of Bruce Springsteen's 'Atlantic City' by putting his own Sugarland spin on the classic song.

     

    'Atlantic City' has been covered by great acts such as The Band, Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam, and Counting Crows. At the Sugarland shows, this one is always a crowd favorite, always a highlight of the night and simultaneously one of Kristian's most beloved moments on stage each and every show. Watch the video below and find out why! 

     

  3. It's a new year and a new day! With everything changing, the only place to go is onwards and upwards. In Kristian's words below he resolves to "dream bigger."

     

    Find out what other plans are in store for Kristian in 2013 in his New Year's Resolutions after the jump!

     

  4. The Holidays really are Jennifer & Kristian's favorite time of the year, and we want to share their well wishes with you in the video below!

     

    Here's to hoping we all were on Santa's nice list, and that the year 2013 is filled with more joy, love and laughter than the ones before. Happy Holidays!

     

  5. Last week we brought you one step closer to being onstage, and today we're taking you by the hand and showing you what it's like to be backstage before the show even begins.

     

    Travel back in time with us to the 'In Your Hands' show in Atlanta, GA and watch as Jennifer, Kristian and ABC's Duets' John Glosson practice the fan favorite and one of the highest requested singles of the tour - 'Stay'.
